Gersowitz, Libo & Korek, P.C. (GLK Law) secured a $4 million settlement for a 20-year-old college student who tragically lost her arm in a catastrophic car accident. The crash occurred when the driver lost control of the vehicle, causing it to strike a guide rail on a New York State roadway that lacked sufficient asphalt on its backside. This deficiency caused the vehicle to angle downward upon impact, allowing the guide rail to penetrate the passenger compartment and result in life-altering injuries.
Although the driver’s negligence could have significantly reduced—or even eliminated—the State’s liability at trial, we were able to secure a substantial settlement for our client. Therefore the negligence of the driver in losing control of the vehicle was not considered by the judge. Over the course of six years, the GLK Law team meticulously prepared by conducting expert accident reconstructions, compiling engineering evidence, and analyzing technical data to hold the State accountable for the negligent guide rail installation.
This $4 million settlement highlights GLK Law’s steadfast commitment to fighting for fair compensation—even in the most difficult cases.
